A woman during the New Year holiday weekend was booked into custody on a misdemeanor charge after for drug paraphernalia after she was found with that and more while being arrested on a Tennessee warrant during a traffic stop.

Amanda Lynn Johnson, 44, of a Cedartown address, was a passenger in a vehicle stopped on Saturday, December 30, 2023 for broken tag lights on a car traveling on Johnson Lake Road.

During the stop, police gathered everyone’s information and Johnson (also known as Amanda Suffield) had warrants for shoplifting out of Nashville, Tennessee. While being searched prior to her arrest, she pulled out a pocket bag that had a glass smoking pipe believed to be meth residue.

Police also found “small broke baggies containing meth residue” around the area Johnson was sitting in the car, but it was not enough to conduct a test and prove methamphetamine possession. Johnson was taken onward to the Polk County Jail without further incident.

The driver and other passenger in the car were allowed to leave with a warning about the tag lights and improper braking noticed by PCPD when they were being pulled over.

Johnson remained in custody as of this posting on a $1,000 bond for the misdemeanor charge of possession and use of drug-related objects.
